The Mart Collective ‘Grand Opening’ is Next Weekend!

Although they “soft opened” in August, The Mart Collective at 1600 Lincoln (the former Lincoln Fabrics building) will celebrate their Grand Opening on October 12th – 13th with gift certificate giveaways, free drinks and special deals.

The Mart Collective is headed up by Robin Messick and Anthony Hudson, who were previously the manager and assistant manager of the Wertz Brothers Antique Mart at 1607 Lincoln Blvd which closed in February. The duo is being mentored by Mike and Larry Wertz, who continue to run their remaining furniture store on Santa Monica Boulevard.

Yo! Venice! was started by two friends, Keri and Bret, to create a communal blog for residents of Venice Beach California.
In today’s world of RSS feeds, they felt that a blog would be a perfect place for people to let others know how they view the Venice Beach community through words and pictures. It is hoped that this site will become a communal blog with many people submitting stories for all in the community to share.
